Chapter 602: Crazy Captive
When Lu Weiyi's mental power erupted and dragged himself into the illusion, no one and no animal within a radius of several kilometers was spared.
At that time, his supernatural power was about to be upgraded, and his mental power was the most powerful. The vast mental power swept through everything around him. At first, even the mice in the coverage area were in a psychedelic state, not to mention Gu Sheng who was closest to him at the time.
Later, with the appearance of the mental shielding helmet, everyone was able to take care of his body at close range, and they also discovered Gu Sheng, who was also trapped in the illusion not far from him.
At that time, Li Zhuang had a special discussion with Zhuang Mingxu over the radio about Gu Sheng's stay or departure, and finally decided to let him stay near Lu Weiyi for the time being - after all, he is the only SSS-level psychic known at the moment, and if he wakes up rashly, no one can be sure what will happen.
But if I kill...
They also wanted to know from him what happened after the upgrade.
SSS psychics, that is a realm that no one has ever set foot in. Just the shapeless snake-like tree in one hand is enough to make it difficult for people to deal with.
With such a pioneer, perhaps we can get some useful news from him.
Gu Sheng did not disappoint their expectations. He showed physical strength that was several levels higher than Lu Weiyi.
While Lu Weiyi was becoming skinny due to hunger, Gu Sheng showed no signs of losing weight at all.
While Lu Weiyi's muscles atrophied and his skin developed bedsores due to lying down for a long time, Gu Sheng looked like he had no injuries at all.
Compared with Lu Weiyi, he seemed more like he was just in a sleep from which he could wake up at any time.
After Zhuang Mingxu came and discovered these situations, he paid more attention to him. He believed that all these were changes that would occur after he was upgraded to SSS level.
In order to provide Lu Weiyi with a reference in case something unexpected happens when he wakes up, when the temporary base was moved, Gu Sheng was also moved to a place not far from Lu Weiyi.
However, compared to Lu Weiyi's huge underground residence, Gu Sheng's only occupied an inconspicuous cave, which was covered and obscured by plants. Even if ordinary people entered the place where Lu Weiyi was, they might not be able to see it.
For so long, he was like an invisible man, ignored by everyone. Only Xiao Taotao held a grudge. After hearing people mention several times that it was him who caused Lu Weiyi's current situation, she would go to him for a "heart-to-heart talk" whenever she thought of it.
If Taotao hadn’t come over this time, Zhuang Mingxu wouldn’t have noticed this man’s disappearance.
He led his men back to the cave where Lu Weiyi was. This time he wore a mental shielding helmet and went forward to conduct the inspection.
The wall not far from Lu Weiyi's underground "room" was originally covered with densely packed small plants, but now a part of it was missing, revealing a single bed made of a platform that was one person tall.
The bed built by the earth-type mutant with his supernatural powers was covered with mottled marks of friction. Zhuang Mingxu shone the light carefully and picked up a few leaves of unfamiliar plants in the corner. He reached out and touched the bed, and felt that the flat "bed" had traces of strong friction, with a slight dampness.
If you sniff it with your nose, you can smell the unique smell of plant juice.
"Call an earth-type mutant over here." Zhuang Mingxu swept his eyes across the surrounding walls that showed no signs of changing, and finally fixed his gaze on the top of his head.
Not long after, Guan Wei, wearing a heavy helmet, was called over, "Captain Zhuang Ji?"
It was also his first time coming here. He looked around curiously, but his attention was more focused on the cocoon wrapped in the middle.
"Check if there are any signs of earth-type mutants touching it," Zhuang Mingxu said without further ado.
Guan Wei withdrew his attention, stretched out his hand to the wall, and then he panicked and covered it with both hands at the same time as a conditioned reflex.
Zhuang Mingxu noticed something was wrong and immediately picked Taotao up. A muffled voice came from the sealed helmet, "What's wrong?"
Guan Wei habitually wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when he touched it, he only felt hard metal. He could still be seen breathing a sigh of relief, "Someone has removed most of the roof above, and there is only a thin layer covering here, which may collapse at any time."
Zhuang Mingxu's heart tightened, and he immediately asked him to check all the roofs around where Lu Weiyi was.
"There are no signs of psychics moving around in other places, but there is residual energy from psychic detection in the soil. This place must have been visited by an earth-type psychic." As soon as he left the range, Guan Wei immediately took off his helmet, and his exposed forehead was covered with sweat, which was enough to show that the situation was indeed tense.
"Any other information?"
"I feel... there seem to be signs of mutant plants growing on it, but the soil has been changed by supernatural powers, so I can't be sure."
The earth-type psychic in Yueban Bay has his own method of changing, extracting and condensing the soil. If it had not been tampered with, he could easily get specific information. However, the soil layer itself has retained the energy of other psychics after being changed, so it is difficult for him to analyze other existences.
Zhuang Mingxu nodded.
At this time, he had already confirmed that Gu Sheng was taken away by the combined efforts of the earth-type and wood-type mutants.
This also sounded a wake-up call for him. It was impossible for a living person to get close to Lu Weiyi, but what if there was a wood-type mutant who controlled the plants to take people away?
Just as they did when they moved their temporary base.
Zhuang Mingxu decided that he must let the mutant long-pointed leaf rose stay with Lu Weiyi all the time in the future.
"I understand. Go and help Wu Yue."
"Captain Wu made some discoveries and asked me to come find you." He was on his way to find Zhuang Mingxu and was brought here directly. Now he remembered the purpose of his visit but had not yet said it.
"Um?"
"We have found the culprit that caused the explosion."
**
This was the closest Zhuang Mingxu had been to land since moving off the ground.
The ground is about three meters above the head. Even though there is a "roof" woven with plants by a wood-type mutant, the roaring wind can still be heard. Heavy objects hit the fabric from time to time, causing the plants on it to tremble slightly, and even cracks will appear in some places. Snow and rocks will enter, but the cracks will be quickly filled by plants grown by the plant-type mutant.
"The wind is so strong up there?" Zhuang Mingxu wrapped his heavy animal skin cloak tighter.
"It shouldn't be like that. The place we chose is in a shelter from the wind. If such a big hurricane appeared here, then other places..." Guan Wei didn't continue speaking. It was clear what he wanted to express. "Captain Wu said that after the base is through this incident, he will take people out to explore the surrounding environment."
Zhuang Mingxu nodded. They had been living underground for a long time and indeed had lost some control over the ground. Before, they didn't know there were powerful enemies around them, so they hid with peace of mind. Now, they had to have complete control to feel at ease.
The few of them did not walk far before entering a temporarily opened cave, where twelve people were lying on the ground, only two of them wearing supernatural power jammers around their necks.
Going further in, they could see several people they had captured before, with power jammers around their necks, tied up tightly and thrown to the ground.
"They appeared at the two ventilation vents closest to the center, where there were signs of bomb ignition, but..." Guan Wei raised his eyebrows, "They were buried by the collapse. When we found them, only these two were still breathing."
"Why didn't you wake them up?" Zhuang Mingxu stepped forward and pried open the eyelids of several people who were confirmed dead, revealing their bloodshot eyeballs.
They looked very similar to the people who had been captured before, except that they were not clearly distinguishable from humans.
"They can't be woken up. It looks like their condition is the same as our people. Captain Wu wanted to interrogate something out of them, so he didn't let anyone wake them up by force."
Zhuang Mingxu nodded and said, "You go and help Wu Yue, I will be responsible for the interrogation here."
Guan Wei hesitated and did not leave for a while. He joined the army late, and the most he had heard about Zhuang Mingxu was that he gave up his future for a man. After the end of the world, the other party was in charge of the base and also served as a military advisor. He had never seen the other party take action, and was a little unsure about how to interrogate an ordinary person like him.
Guan Wei was just about to say that he would stay when he heard Zhuang Mingxu's order, "Take these people away and take care of them. Deal with the bodies later. Notify me as soon as they wake up."
He glanced around and accurately selected the water-based superpower from the few remaining superpower users. He raised his chin towards the people who were knocked unconscious and tied up by them and said, "Let them wake up."
The water-based ability user had a conditioned reflex and a stream of water appeared in his hand like a high-pressure water gun, rushing straight towards the faces of several people who were knocked unconscious.
Deprived of their breath, several people woke up coughing violently in an instant.
Zhuang Mingxu raised his hand to stop the other party from continuing.
After waking up, the few people reacted for a while before they understood the current situation. They looked at Zhuang Mingxu and shrank slightly, but when they looked at the other psychics, a hint of madness suddenly appeared in their eyes, as if they were experiencing a drug addiction and saw drugs, which was chilling.
They licked their lips unconsciously, and blood-red teeth could be vaguely seen in their huge mouths. Upon closer inspection, one could even see strands of meat between their teeth.
Thinking of the source of those shredded meat, one Psychic couldn't help but dry-heaving, and the other Psychics looked at them with disgust.
But they seemed unaware and even unconsciously moved towards the direction of several psychics. The tight bindings forced them to move on the ground, but still failed to stop their behavior. It was as if they were attracted by something and were out of control.
Obviously, there were just a few captives whose powers were controlled and who could not cause any harm to them at all, but the hearts of the several psychics who saw this scene were chilled.
When Guan Wei saw this, a stern look flashed in his eyes. He was about to teach them a lesson when he saw Zhuang Mingxu approaching leisurely.
He didn't know when a forearm-long dagger appeared in his hand. He wiped the blade slowly and walked forward. Without saying a word, he grabbed the hair of a man who was struggling and grinning at a psychic with an excited expression, pulled him and turned him in a different direction, and slashed at the necks of several other people with excited expressions.
Blood gushed out, and as he turned the person's head, the warm blood with a pungent fishy smell splashed on the face of every excited person.
